It is believed that many players have applied for game refunds after the closure of Blizzard's family bucket, and game refunds have arrived, and NetEase's refund operation has also won unanimous praise from players. As time passed, when players gradually forgot about this matter, NetEase made a new announcement.
NetEase's announcement is very short, that is, to remind players not to forget to refund, and the deadline for applying for a refund is June 30, after which it is impossible to apply.
As we all know, after the closure of the national service, NetZhiyi employees went to different places, some went to other large factories, and some simply began to sell goods live. Especially after Zhang Dong left, NetEase only had some employees left to clean up the aftermath. And NetEase issued an announcement at this time, which also means that the aftermath work is almost over, and once the aftermath work is over, NetEase has no need to stay.
Although players have nothing to do with NetEase after refunds, NetEase also has an important data, that is, players' game data, so how these data are processed after NetEase is dissolved has also become the focus of players' attention.
According to previous statements, NetEase should keep data for 6 months, and the national server was closed on January 24, that is, until July 24. If the deadline passes, even if NetEase wants to save, it will inevitably have various problems.
Article 47 of the PIPL clearly states that personal information processors stop providing products or services, or the retention period has expired. Personal information handlers shall actively delete personal information; Where the personal information processor has not deleted it, the individual has the right to request deletion.
In other words, if NetEase does not delete personal information, once a player reports it, then NetEase will face a dilemma.
Some players may think that there is nothing, after all, personal game saves are downloaded before the server is closed, but the data and personal saves mentioned here are two different things.
There are two types of Blizzard Family Bucket game data: the first is the data of the game itself, and the second is the player information data. Game data is the player's own personal save before, and player data is an important basis for matching account ownership, which includes the player's personal information.
If Blizzard Family Bucket identifies a new agent by July 24, NetEase can also transfer the data to the new agent. If a new agent appears after July 24, it will be very difficult to retrieve the account in the absence of player data, not to mention the accuracy and reliability of personal save, even if the personal archive is very reliable, not every player has saved.
What's more, from the current situation, it is difficult to determine the new agent of the national service before July 24, because the original plan of Microsoft's acquisition is July 18, even if it can be completed on July 18, it is difficult to negotiate in less than a week.
The interval between the last agent replacement is very short, and the player data is lost, and this time the time to change the agent is as short as half a year and as long as 1 year, and player data loss is also inevitable. Hopefully, the new agent and Blizzard will properly address this issue.
